103. ◆How to Draw an Ellipse
Agentny003
An ellipse is similar to an oval if you think about it.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, exactly.
When I draw eggs, it helps to think of them as ellipses, but I make the top a little pointy, so I think an oval is cuter than a perfectly precise ellipse.

101. Hanging Down(2/3)
Agentny003
Wow I feel sorry for you; must be rough.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
This was my biggest mistake in class over the past three years…
Taketo is still attending my class, and his father has been very kind and understanding. He’s not upset with me.

Agentny003
Textures makes the drawing alive.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, totally.
I really love the texture of water.
And I'm a big fan of the waves and splashes you draw!
Agentny003
It’s a lot to memorize, but with passion and practice, it’ll be a doozy.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, they’re practicing it every day.
Their drawings are improving, and they’re growing more and more too.
I absolutely love watching that.

@Agentny003
You’ve never had a cream puff???
It’s a round pastry filled all the way with custard cream.
In Japan, the ones that are half custard and half whipped cream are super popular.
They’re really sweet and insanely good.
You can get them in Hokkaido too, so if you ever come, you’ve gotta try one!

95. ◆How to Fix a Distorted Circle
Agentny003
Of all my years as an artist, one the things I learned; art is full of surprises.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I get the most excited when I finally understand how each art method really works.

92. "Hell" Picture Book
Agentny003
Remember not compare the kiddies with teenagers. Getting the picture isn’t a good idea.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
I feel the same way.
Just like the four students in my class, each with their own personality, there’s no such thing as a “stereotypical” person.
That’s why I never liked the Hell Picture Book trend.
But they enjoyed it — and honestly, I was relieved they didn’t find it scary.

91. Volume Number Trap in Japanese Novels
Agentny003
You were confused because you read the third volume without reading the second one. The reason two wasn’t in the shelf was because someone else was borrowing it.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, exactly.
The person who borrowed Volume 2 probably had trouble finding Volume 3 since I had it checked out at the time.
I still remember feeling relieved that I returned it right after finishing it.

Well it’s true relaxation helps the brain function more when active later on.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
Yeah, same here.
I try to stay relaxed too,
though I’ve got this bad habit of cramming my schedule and stressing myself out. lol

Seriously? Then again everyone has their style of eating snacks. 😄

You should try crushing stick-type snacks too!

When I eat round potato chips, I use chopsticks.
You should give it a try!

88. How to Separate Trash in Japan
Agentny003
I strongly agree.That’s why I love your country. it’s super clean. I too support recycling as I do it in my house all the time. Unfortunately, where I live in the minority of those who care about recycling.
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
I hope people in your area start recycling more too.
Agentny003
Imagine how wet and smelly that garbage can will be once the bag gets taken out. 😄
tamakimikesaka
@Agentny003
When I say that, the kids don’t even imagine it, but I do.
I take more emotional damage than they do, lol.
